Double "Nymph" brings an almost rose-like shape to double amaryllis hybrids. Soft pink striping on snow white. Magnificent! That's the description at American Meadows. I planted this a couple of years ago and it was a very short amaryllis. This year it grew taller, but not as tall as some. It started out in the basement and when the bud started growing, I brought it up into the warm house. It waited awhile then started it's growth.I thought it might bloom for Valentine's Day, but not this year. There is a second bud starting at the base of this plant. I bought it at the end of the year that year... when they had their half price sale. It has bloomed for three years...quite a bargain I would say.
I have a couple more starting out down there...I may have blooms going until it's time to plant outside this year.

Just beautiful and just what we need in the winter.

Beautiful!
I ended up tossing the one I bought at Home Depot. It never grew and one day I noticed it was full of bugs...into the garbage it went. Maybe I will try again next year.
I love blooming flowers inside in the winter. My mother used to always get me an Amaryllis for Christmas each year. It was such a nice surprise to take away the February blahs!
